What do you like best about Buildfire?

Buildfire's DIY app builder is great for people who like to do everything themselves. If you know your way around Wordpress or around the Office suite, you'll learn your way around the app builder in no time. It is the easiest platform I could find out there to build an app without coding abilities. The DIY app building is priced fairly, and their support team was quick to respond and knowledgeable enough to make a positive difference or solve my problems every time I reached out.

What do you dislike about Buildfire?

By its easy-to-use nature, the DIY app builder has its limits. Before committing, make sure you know what these limits are and whether you really can build your app with the features you need, as their custom development services are considerably more expensive.

Certain bugs or issues have persisted over the 4 years we've had our app. For example, the in-app browser feature that allows you to open a webpage in the app still does not have a back button to leave the in-app browser and return to the app's homescreen. Luckily, an option exists to open webpages using the devices' default browser (Safari/Chrome). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Many Features Available"
5/5
What do you like best about Buildfire?

Usually, template-based programs are extremely limited in what they offer for features before purchasing or upgrading to a new plan. Buildfire has a very robust feature offering to start. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildfire?

I'm not sure I have a complaint to register, but since there is a minimum character limit, I'll do my best! The preview window can vary significantly from what displays on a live phone. Although it's rare, it does happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Organized, efficient and creative!"
5/5
What do you like best about Buildfire?

BuildFire has been an incredibly organized partner from day 1. They are very thorough in their designs and always stay on top of things. Additionally, they consistently find creative ways to solve problems while using resources efficiently, saving us money. I have personal experience working in client-facing app development and as a former professional in the field, I can testify that BuildFire provides a better service and end product than multi-billion tech consulting firms. The people are also a pleasure to work with and always serve as measured and considerate advisors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Buildfire Makes It Possible"
5/5
What do you like best about Buildfire?

I never would have thought that I could be running an app for our business. I don't like tech and I am not good at it. But the interface is almost simple, and when you get stuck there is always help within reach. The training resources helped me to build out the app and the customer service IT team helps me when the resources are not enough. So I am never on my own. This app has allowed us to reach a much larger audience in a whole new way, adding a powerful new income stream to our business. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildfire?

The only thing I dislike is that now I have no excuse to not do the thing I was scared to do, which is branch out of my comfort zone. :) It was easy to hold back from it when I couldn't do it myself and couldn't afford to hire someone to do it for me. But BuildFire made it possible so now I had to take the big steps out of my comfort zone and do it. It's still not comfortable but it's getting done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Best drag and drop app builder out there"
5/5
What do you like best about Buildfire?

I've tried several different app makers and BuildFire was the only one that made it easy from start to finish. No confusing language, easy-to-use drag and drop builder, and pre-made plugins installed with one click. Plus, the ability to customize is much easier than other app-building sites. With a bit of coding knowledge, you can even build your own plugins which take this app builder to the next level. Support is friendly and knowledgeable. The process to get my app live was smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Buildfire?

I'd like to see more customization options to the core features (menu, bottom nav, etc.) in the future. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
